Allele Name	agouti yellow
Allele Type	Spontaneous
Allele Synonym(s)	A(y); Ay
Gene Symbol and Name	a, nonagouti
Gene Synonym(s)
Strain of Origin	old mutant of the mouse fancy
Chromosome	2
Molecular Note	The A^y mutation appears to be a DNA structural alteration that disrupts a gene, hnRNP associated with lethal yellow (Raly), 5' to the agouti locus and places the agouti locus under the control of the Raly promotor. A report of recombination between A^y and the a and a^x alleles suggests that A^y was a pseudoallele of the a locus on the proximal side. However, cloning of the agouti locus and molecular analysis of a showed that the coding region of the three alleles is identical.

Slc7a11^sut

Allele Symbol: Slc7a11^sut

Allele Name	subtle gray
Allele Type	Spontaneous
Allele Synonym(s)	sut
Gene Symbol and Name	Slc7a11, solute carrier family 7 (cationic amino acid transporter, y+ system), member 11
Gene Synonym(s)
Strain of Origin	C3H/HeSnJ
Chromosome	3
Molecular Note	Sequencing revealed a large deletion extending from intron 11 through exon 12 and into the intergenic region, creating a new splice site and the replacement of exon 12 with exon 12'. 3' RACE revealed a new stop codon in exon 12' and predicted a modified and truncated protein carboxyl terminus.

Mammalian Phenotype Terms by Genotype

The following phenotype information is associated with a similar, but not exact match to this JAX^® Mice strain

Genotype: Slc7a11^sut/Slc7a11^sut
C3H/HeSnJ-Slc7a11/J

hematopoietic system phenotype

decreased platelet serotonin level
- platelet serotonin concentration is slightly reduced; no change in adenine nucleotide concentration

pigmentation phenotype

diluted coat color
- on nonagouti some reduction in yellow pigment can be seen in the pinna hairs only
- yellow hair pigment is reduced; black pigment is unaffected
- most easily seen with agouti especially in the juvenile coat

homeostasis/metabolism phenotype

decreased platelet serotonin level
- platelet serotonin concentration is slightly reduced; no change in adenine nucleotide concentration

increased bleeding time
- model for mild storage pool deficiency
- mutant mice have a 3.4 fold greater bleeding time compared to sib controls

integument phenotype

diluted coat color
- on nonagouti some reduction in yellow pigment can be seen in the pinna hairs only
- most easily seen with agouti especially in the juvenile coat
- yellow hair pigment is reduced; black pigment is unaffected

nervous system phenotype

decreased platelet serotonin level
- platelet serotonin concentration is slightly reduced; no change in adenine nucleotide concentration
